Lana's P.O.V.

Unpack, unpack, unpack was all that was running through my mind. Me, my brother Luke, and my dad had traveled from our small home in Georgia to Australia. Why you ask? I have absolutely no idea why. My dad told me and my brother he wanted to move and within two weeks he had already sold the house. We arrived in Australia yesterday and my dad was planning for me and Luke to start school tomorrow, so of course he was rushing us to finish unpacking.

"Dad we literally just got here, why are you making us go to school tomorrow?" Luke asked. "Education is important. You guys have already missed 3 days, and I don't want you missing anymore." My dad answered. I was very nervous about being the new kid at school. I never fit in at my old school because, well.. I was different and people didn't like that. I swear I was the only person who knew a my chemical romance song besides "welcome to the black parade". I wonder if people in Australia are the same. I hope not because I really need someone to talk to about Gerard Way, I mean he's a legend. Luke was the complete opposite of me. He wore khakis, a polo, and whatever Nike shoes he thought made him look great. He was popular and attractive, everything I wasn't. Even though we are completely different than each other he always protected me and stood up for me. It was always just me and him most of the time. Dad was always drinking and well we don't exactly have a mother. I mean we did, but she committed suicide when I was 10 and Luke was 11. All of us miss her like crazy, but we find ways to cope with it. "Lana, I think you should go to bed. You don't want to be tired on your first day" my dad said from outside my door. "Yeah dad, I think I'm gonna start lying down. Love you. " I replied while patting my bed spread. "Night Lana!" Luke yelled. "Night Luke!" I yelled back. As I drifted off to sleep I deemed of the whole school liking my chemical romance and accepting me for who I am. But dreams aren't exactly real are they? Not even the gods above could get everyone to like my chemical romance, but hey they're not meant for everyone. School should be interesting tomorrow. Let's see how many fake girls, wanna be jocks, and smart know it alls I'll meet.

~morning~

I woke up to the lovely sound of my alarm clock. I got out of bed, brushed my teeth and tried to think of what to do with my hair. My hair was bleach blond with black at the ends. Naturally it was a bit wavy at the bottoms, so I decided to leave it like that. Make up was the next step. I was paler than a vampire and I lacked in perfect skin. I put a little bit of foundation on, followed by powder and lastly just a little mascara. I decided to wear my MCR shirt (of course), my black skinny jeans and some black converse. I looked decent I guess you could say. I put a little foundation over the scars on my wrist. I didn't want people to automatically judge me because of my scars. I've been clean for about 3 months. It's been hard, but I've gotten through it somehow.

Luke got a drivers license 2 months ago, so he takes me to school. We arrived at the school in 15 minutes. "Have a nice day Lana, meet back here at 4:00. Love you. " Luke said as he walked into the building. I'm alone now. Alone in a new school. Absolutely, completely alone. I guess I had been standing in the way of where students walked because a very angry guy bumped into me. "Sorry, sorry, oh my God I'm really sorry" I kept rambling. He looked at me and his face softened just a bit. "Just move" he said and ran to wherever he needed to be. He had bleach blond hair and blue/grey eyes. He was very tall and he had on an MCR shirt, just like me. Great its my first day here and a kid already doesn't like me. I did like his shirt though. I wonder who he was. I walked to the office and the secretary gave me my schedule. Math 1st period, just great. I walked in and took a seat in back. All off the kids were staring at me. It was really uncomfortable. I saw the guy I bumped into surrounded by 3 other guys. Some Asian kid, a very tall and skinny blond boy with a lip ring, and a muscular guy with somewhat curly hair. The guy I bumped into saw me and he just kept staring. The Asian kid came among my way. " I like your shirt" he said "really? most people don't even know this band." I replied "Oh believe me I do" I just giggled at his response. "I'm Calum" he said "Lana" I replied. "Lana, that's a cute name." He smiled. "Thanks" I smiled. "I'm not Asian just so you know, most people think I am" he laughed. "Oh haha" I replied. "Class take your seats" A man about 30 years old came in and said. I'm guessing he's the teacher. "Well I guess I better go, hopefully I'll see you around Lans" he said. "Lans?" I asked. "That's your nickname" he said. "Okay" I laughed. Calum went and sat down at a desk. I looked over and saw the bleach blond hair guy glaring at me and then he whispered something in Calum's ear. Whatever he said caused Calum to get uncomfortable. The teachers name was Mr. Jazda. He had the most annoying voice and he was quite rude. The bleach blond hair guy dozed off to sleep, which I found rather funny. "Michael Clifford! the man shouted. His name was Michael. Michael lifted his head up and just looked at Mr. Jazda. "No falling asleep in my class!" he yelled. "Yes s-" he bell rang. Michael and his 3 buddy's darted out the classroom. For the next to periods I had English and literature. In English I met a girl named Jazmine who was obsessed with The Walking Dead. But she was really cool. I made my way down to the cafeteria and just looked around at all the tables. "Lana wanna come sit with us?" Calum asked. "Uhm yeah I guess" I replied unsure of myself. "Don't worry they wont bite" he said as he took a seat next to the guy with the piercing. I sat on the opposite side of Calum. The curly haired kid sat across from Calum and Michael walked over and sat in front of me. "So you're Lana" the curly haired boy asked. "Yes" I replied simply. "I'm Ashton" he said and smile "I'm Luke" the guy with the piercing said. "I have a brother named Luke" I said laughing a little. "Does he go here?" Michael asked looking me straight in the eyes. "Uh, yeah he does." I said looking him in the eyes. "So why did you move to Australia?" Calum asked. "I have no idea, my dad just wanted to move" I replied. "Your mother didn't say anything?" Ashton asked. "Um... my mothers, uh dead" I said looking down slightly. Tears started to form in my eyes. "I-I'm sorry, I'll be right back" I said and then ran to the bathroom. As I left I heard Michael say "Ashton you fucking screw up!" why would he say that? He didn't even know me.

Once I got to the bathroom I just started bawling. I sat in a locked bathroom stall on the toilet crying my eyes out. "Lana will you let me in?" a familiar voice said. "just go away please" I said in between sobs. "It's Michael. I know you don't know me, but please open the door" he said sweetly. I opened to door and he came in and knelt right in front of me. He held both my hands in his strong hands. "It's gonna be okay. Calm down. I'm sorry about Ashton. He didn't know. " He said softly. "I know he didn't know, I just miss my mom" I said and started to cry again. It was silent for a second. "Lana what are these?" he asked. I looked at what he was talking about. My scars.

"I need to go" I said and then ran out the bathroom to Luke's car.

As I was running I heard Michael yelling. "Lana!"

I was just standing beside Luke's car because for some reason it made me feel better. Michael came out into the parking lot and ran over to me.

He grabbed my hand and led me to a car. "Get in, please." He said

"No" I replied "Lana get in" he said a little harshly. "Why?" I asked. "Because I need to talk to you in private. And you don't need to be here" he said.

"Fine" I said while getting in the car.

He got in and buckled his seat belt. He then looked at me and pulled off
his sleeves. They were covered in scars and I mean covered. "You see these. You're not alone. " He said "now we're gonna go to a park and you are going to tell me why you cut yourself. How ever many cuts you have will be how many answers you must give me" he said sternly. "Then you have to give me reasons for why you did those" I said "fine. " He said and started the car.

"Just know that you're not alone and no girl as beautiful as you deserves what's on those little wrists." He said
